A number pattern that extends by 10 has a constant increase of ten from one term to the next; the learner continues sequences within 0–100 by identifying the next number as ten greater, including patterns that cross a decade. Place-value and number-line representations show that the ones digit stays the same while the tens digit increases by one, laying foundations for efficient addition and understanding the base-ten system without extending to larger numbers or formal algebraic rules.
